Greek Yogurt Covered Cherries

Greek Yogurt Covered Cherries are a refreshing and healthy frozen treat. You can get creative with toppings to make them extra festive!

Cherries! These are one of my favorite fruits that I hardly ever eat. I am not sure if it is because it can be a lot of work to eat them (meaning a lot of work trying not to swallow and choke on the cherry pits) or more so the season for them seems relatively short. I do get excited when I see cherries available at the grocery store, but I don’t usually know what else to do with them besides eat them plain. (Or cut them up for dessert.)

An instagram post from How Sweet Eats a while back gave me the idea to freeze them after covering them up in yogurt. If I could find the post I would, but I just get lost in all her beautiful pictures trying to find it. Food photography goals.

Either way, this recipe is super easy.

Dip your cherries in some greek yogurt, and lay them out on some wax paper. I used plain yogurt, with a little bit of homemade vanilla extract mixed in. Or you can just buy vanilla greek yogurt which will be a bit sweeter.

Top with some chia seeds for extra healthy benefits, or get creative with your topping choice. Then freeze! It should only take 30 minutes or so for the yogurt to harden.

I liked them covered in chia seeds. I did get creative with some other toppings myself and let me just say I don’t recommend using (unsweetened) cacao powder as a topping. No cherry is sweet enough to overpower that.
